Prairie Dog Town ~ Badlands, South Dakota ~ 1994
In 1994 I took two big road trips and covered a lot of states. This is one of my favorite kitschy little spots. On the East end of the Badlands loop in South Dakota is Prairie Dog Town. Buy a bag of peanuts and feed the chunky little prairie dogs. Just too cute!
Below ~ "The worlds largest prairie dog" and the real thing.

Featured Shop ~ Eternal Girl Eternal Girl is run by Julia from Rockville, Maryland. Her shop is filled with henna inspired hand drawn jewelry and greeting cards.

How did you choose your shop name?
"Eternal girl is the female
version of a term used in mythology to describe a child-like being
craving boundless freedom. I associate my artwork with the undying need
to reach out and extend my limitations through love and life."

Why did you choose to make/sell what you do?
"I
started making jewelry a few years ago, in 2011. I ordered some necklace
supplies and began experimenting. After about a year of making
necklaces as gifts, my friends encouraged me to sell them online."

What inspires the designs/creations you make?
"My artwork
gives me a chance to connect with individuals I wouldn't normally
interact with everyday. I love creating and keeping my mind focused
through jewelry making. I keep in mind that with each piece I work on,
someone will own, appreciate, and take care of the jewelry. I feel a
sense of connection through the transference of a simple object."

I asked each shop to share one of their favorite Vacation Photos with us.
"Our family loves going to the beach together every year. My parents brought all my sisters, brothers and I to the beach every summer for vacation. We love seeing the wild life at the beach especially the ghost crabs!"
